Ahh OK! nlay is not an essential part of nnn anymore. It's only invoked if you use the locker or invoke desktop search utility. We retained those two to keep the utilities customizable. Are you using any of these two?
Also, `nlay` is editable and you can customize it anytime.
The site already has ads. Sidebar ads, banner ads, ads that look like regular submissions to the site. Not to mention the more natural advertising that /r/hailcorporate likes to freak out about a lot.
Thus wasting other people's time and productivity?
I'm using the Atom editor. It's kind of annoying how it pushes new updates every week. Previously used Subline Text 2 which just worked and did not have an update for years.
Sublime is a great example of users getting update fever. The forum is riddled with long ”is this software dead?” threads that pop up at regular intervals.
